Here's one for the electrical geniuses out there. On my G35 coupe I'd like to have my rear turn signal lamps light with the rest of the LEDs in regular driving mode. But, still have it blink on/off or dim/bright when signaling for a turn. Right now the outer lamps are dark except when signaling. Reason? Purely aesthetic, to make the car look wider and more GTR-like.

 

Cant you just change the relay?

 

Yeah, It's very possible. I think you would have to snip the signal wire from its relay and combine another wire to it which will then be wired to the headlight relay wire (which you will also have to snip so you can wire the other end of the signal wire to it)... any electrical engineers out here, I believe that is the method

how about changing the rear socket from a two wire to a three wire, like the front. keep the turn signal wires the same and hook up the third wire to the positive of the running light next to it, also change the 7440 bulb to 7443. now your back turn signals will work just like the front.

 

Yeah, that's how it needs to work--just like the little orange ones in the headlight cluster. Thanks for the ideas guys. I'll keep you posted. I'll try some things this weekend. According to the manual, the bulbs for both front and rear turn signals are the same (T20) so if I can change the socket, that might do the trick.

 

If you can change the socket, you can then do the light mod so that the rear parking light will blink also

 

has anyone attempted to black out the tail lights? smoke them?
